Cole Ragans is the undisputed ace of the Kansas City Royals’ pitching staff. He showed why, again, on Sunday at Progressive Field. Ragans shut down the Guardians in the Royals’ 4-2 victory at Progressive Field. He dominated the strike zone for 7 2/3 innings despite battling some cramping in his hamstring along the way. The 27-year-old left-hander struck out 10 batters Sunday, his third straight outing with 10 or more strikeouts.

The Kansas City Royals are a bit of an enigma right now. That was apparent during their weekend series at Progressive Field against the reigning American League Central champion Guardians. The Royals’ starting pitchers were effective, as they’ve generally been through 16 games, but KC’s run support and defense weren’t consistently adequate. The Royals were outscored 13-3 in their first two games in Cleveland. On Sunday, they scored four runs to salvage a 4-2 victory in the series finale.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is nominating former Ohio State Buckeyes football coach Jim Tressel as the state's next lieutenant governor. Tressel retired a year and a half ago as president of Youngstown State University. The Republican governor announced the pick at a news conference Monday. He called Tressel "a natural leader" who will ably succeed Jon Husted, whom DeWine recently tapped to fill the U.S. Senate seat left open by JD Vance's election as vice president.
